Residents of Hawaiian homeless camp announce ambitious plan for a self-made community

A community of 200 homeless people near Honolulu announced a plan to raise money to lease or buy land to build their own self-made community. Honolulu Civil Beat reporter Natanya Friedheim shares some of the details of the “herculean effort” of raising the money to build a group of houses with communal areas to house the homeless. In 2015, Honolulu Civil Beat produced The Harbor, a 5-part series on the Waianae homeless camp.
